invasive species

As one of the many threats to native ecosystems, invasive species are a large concern. They tend to displace the native plants that have evolved to grow in our local climate, and contribute to a lack of biodiversity.

While this is not a complete list of our species of concern, these are some major species to be on the lookout for. If you have seen these, know of an area that has them growing, or want more information, there are a few steps to take:1. Report any sighting to MISIN, a wonderful networking tool to share information on invasive species.2. Call us! We have many tools and resources to share with you!3. Be a mindful citizen. Make sure you are doing all you can to reduce the spread of invasive species!

Another great partner is the Lake to Lake Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (L2L CISMA) More information on this particular CISMA can be found at:www.l2lcisma.org
